A Name Above Every Name!
The Church has not seen as of yet our high calling we have in Christ Jesus. We have been filled with the power of God. God has called us to be His representatives on earth. It says in the Epistles to the Ephesians that the fulness of Christ is His church on earth.
We are the eyes, mouth, feet and hands of Jesus on earth. We carry the light of God and the Kingdom of God on earth. We are His ambassadors. We are to use the Name of Jesus to free those who are being oppressed of the devil.
To use the Name of Jesus requires your faith as well. People want the blessings of Abraham with the faith of Thomas. They want to see first then receive but the bible says believe in your heart first and speak it and then you receive. But it MUST be accompanied by both right believing, right speaking, and right living.
A Name above every Name
It is the name of Jesus that your authority over the devil and guarantees the answer to the command of faith.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Phil. 2:9-10
Jesus defeated Satan by conquest and the kingdom of darkness. “far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come”. Eph. 1:21.
Jesus disarmed them
blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Col. 2:14-15.
Wrong Thinking Brings Wrong Speaking. Wrong Speaking Brings Wrong Living.
You need to understand that unspoken thought is never born if they are not spoken. This is for both positive and negative thoughts.
You have been Set Free from the kingdom of darkness. Col. 1: 13-14
How You Think in Your Heart. Prov. 23:7
Our Mind-We are to renew our minds and bring every contrary thought to the obedience of Christ. Rom. 12:2
Our Body- bring your body into subjection. Don’t be body ruled, be Spirit ruled. You are to rule the body. The works of the flesh are just that, our works. I Cor. 9:27 Rom. 12:1.
